Soda Bread

Preheat the oven to 200c.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Make a well in the center and then mix in the honey, treacle and buttermilk, working everything together lightly with your hands until you have a loose, wet dough.

With floured hands, divide the dough into two, then form the dough into rounds and place onto a flour lined baking sheet. Mark a deep cross in it with a sharp, serrated knife, cutting about two-thirds of the way through the loaf.

Place into a convection oven preheated to 200c and bake for 40-45 minutes until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped underneath. Leave to cool on a wire rack before use.
